BUTTON.

Application filed September 28, 1914.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that-L'Rosn KARGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sealy, in the county of Austin and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buttons; and I do hereby deelare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in buttons and has for its primary object to generally improve buttons so as to render them more practical, reliable and efficient in operation, pleasing to the eye, and ineX- pensive to manufacture.

Another and more specific object is to provide a button of a fancy nature that will serve in a reliable manner to hold articles together and will owing to its construction not become deranged accidentally.

The above and additional objects are accomplished by such means as are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, described in the following specification and then more particularly pointed out in the claims.

With reference to the drawings, wherein I have illustrated the preferred embodiment.

of my invention as it is reduced to practice, and throughout the several views of which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts: Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved button, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1,

showing a part of the button in elevation.

Referring to the drawings, by characters of reference, the numerals 1, and 2 designate rings that are disposed at right angles to one another and connected with each other. These rings may be formed of celluloid or any other suitable material and colored as desired. The ring 2 is provided at opposite points in its periphery with recesses 3 which receive the ring 1. The ring 1 is recessed or notched as at 4 so as to cooperate with the recesses 3. It will thus be seen that the ring 2 is secured within the ring 1 and the rings are approximately flush with each other at the points where they are connected.

The ring 1 which is the outer of the rings is provided with an apertured lug or eX- tension 5 by means of which the button may be secured to a garment or the like.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 11, 1916.

Serial No. 863,872.

With reference to the foregoing description and accompanying drawings it will be seen that I have provided a button which may be easily formed of two rings of any desired material and which will prove efficient in operation as well as pleasing to the eye in appearance. The recesses 3 and 4 may be formed slightly smaller than the diameter ofv the rings so that the rings are forced into place when assembled thus insuring rigidity to the structure.

In practice, I have found that the form of my invention, illustrated in the drawings and referred to in the above description, as the preferred embodiment, is the most eflicient and practical; yet realizing that the conditions concurrent with the adoption of my device will necessarily vary, I desire to emphasize the fact that various minor changes in details of construction, proportion and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, when required, without sacrificing any of the advantages of my invention, as set forth.

What is claimed is 1. A button comprising a pair of rings arranged one Within the other and extending at right angles to each other, one of the rings having recesses formed therein at diametrically opposite points and the other ring snugly fitting within the recesses in the firstmentioned ring, so as to hold the rings against relative movement, and means on the rings for attaching the button to a garment.

2. A button comprising a pair of rings arranged one within the other and extending at right angles toeach other, the outer ring having its inner surface provided with recesses located at diametrically opposite points, the inner ring having its periphery provided with recesses at diametrically op posite points, and the recessed portions of the inner ring being received by the recessed Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each. by addressing the Commissioner of Patents.
